An Update from Juliet & DanielRunning a pub and working in hospitality is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be extremely challenging when you're navigating significant health issues behind the scenes.Over the summer, I (Juliet) was diagnosed with breast cancer. We now know the treatment plan, and I'll shortly be undergoing a mastectomy, followed by further treatment.Like many small family businesses, we've done our very best to keep everything running as normal, but we've realised we also need to make sure we're looking after ourselves so we can continue looking after everyone else.For that reason, we've made a few temporary changes:🍺 Adjusted opening hours💳 We are now a cashless pub, allowing our team to spend less time handling cash and more time focusing on serving our customers.The pub remains very much open, and our fantastic team will continue to welcome you with the same great food, drinks and friendly service.There may be times over the coming months when Daniel or I seem a little quieter than usual or need to step away. Please know it's never personal—we're simply learning how to balance treatment, family life and running a business.To everyone who has supported us already, thank you. Your kindness, patience and understanding mean more than words can say, and we're incredibly grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.With love,Juliet, Daniel & Lyra ❤️ …
